Piaygroond
San Francisco, Cal., July 1).—Mount.
Tainalpais, a landmark of California
and the playground of all the cities
clustered ahout. San Francisco bay, is
burning fiercely on three sides to­
ward three suburbs.
By day a mantle of smoke cloaks,
the shoulders of the mountain. At
night the reflection from its glowing
flanks is painted on the skies.
Each morning has brought decep­
tive assurances that the danger was
past, but. each afternoon the summer
trade winds, sweeping in from the
Pacific, have whipped the flames be­
fore them, charging and forcing the
army of tire fighters into fresh tim­
ber.
Three thousand soldiers and sail­
ors, forest rangers and volunteer civ­
ilians are enroute as lire fighters. All
the shops have closed business and
are at a standstill.
Thus far there has been no loss
of life ahd little damage to property,
though It is possible that the damage
nay be enormous.
Mt. Tqmalpajs lies north of San
Francisco and Is plainly visible from
liolghta Besides several
large hotels, thete are ritimerous cot­
tages, The railroad that ascends the
mountain is the ^nost crooked in the
world, and this feature is especially
advertised, it Is so situated that the
trade winds of the summer sweep in
from the Pacific. In the afternoons
these become stronger, and this fact
accounts for the flames being fanned
into further violence as the day ad­
vances. Noi. far from the mountain
is located San Quentin prison, and
numerous landing places around the
bay of San Francisco.

authorized by the bouse to supple­
ment the senate probe already under
way. With the passage of the Henry
investigation resolution a special
committee of seven members was att­
ainted by Speaker Clark, with Rep­

larged the scope of the inquiry so
that all efforts to control members of
the house or to influence legislation
by any persons or organization may
be subject to the inquisitorial power
of the committee. Chairman Garrett
expects to begin hearings on Monday.
